Pokémon, Inkaros, my starter Pokémon

A critical hit!!!

The effect of "Darkness Condensation" was perfectly triggered at this moment!

"BOOM!!!!!!"

With an even deeper and more terrifying roar, Gallade didn't even have time to let out a scream before its body was completely enveloped by the Shadow Strike, which was amplified by the fatal blow. Like a kite with a broken string, it was sent flying backward at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, and slammed hard into the protective wall below the audience seats in the distance!

"boom--!!!"

The sturdy wall let out a mournful cry as it was smashed into a clear dent, cracks spreading out like a spiderweb.

Gallade's body slid softly down and embedded itself in the crater, its eyes closed, completely incapacitated.

The shadow energy slowly dissipated, revealing Cain, who remained suspended in the center of the arena, unharmed and with an even stronger aura.

The entire Jade Rainbow Arena fell into a deathly silence once again.

Only after a brief confirmation by the referee, his trembling voice clearly echoed in everyone's ears:

"Ah... Gallade is unable to battle, Cain wins!"

"Instant kill! Another instant kill!!! Mr. Shidou's second Pokémon, Cain, defeated Ms. Sabrina's second Pokémon, Gallade, in a single move! My god! This is an absolute crushing defeat!"

The host's voice was completely shattered from shock.

“Wow——!!!”

After a brief silence, a tsunami of gasps and uproar swept through the entire venue.

"So strong, too strong, another move!"

"Just who is that elf named Cain? That Shadow Ground Smash move is terrifying!"

"Miss Sabrina... she actually had two of her main characters wiped out in a row? Am I dreaming?"

Blue from Celadon City suddenly stood up from his seat, his face filled with disbelief, muttering to himself, "So strong... another move... and he instantly defeated Gallade..."

Xiao Mao's clenched fist trembled slightly.

It's important to know that Sabrina's strength is recognized by all trainers in the Kanto region. If Granny Agatha, one of the Kanto Elite Four, retires, then there are currently two candidates in the league to replace her.

One is Mr. Sakaki, the king of the ground at the Tokiwa Dojo.

One is Sabrina, the Psychic Queen of the Goldenrod Gym.

Mr. Giovanni had stated that he would not serve as the Elite Four member, and Sabrina was the only candidate. However, Sabrina was said to be prone to losing control of her psychic powers, and challengers might turn into dolls during gym battles. This frightened many challengers, including Gary at the time, who dared not take on the challenge.

In terms of strength, Sabrina is definitely the top Kanto Gym Leader.

however……

When this super-powered queen faced Mr. Toki, both of her main Pokémon were instantly defeated.

For the first time, Shigeru felt so clearly the despairing gap in strength between himself and Tokito.

Watching the live broadcast on television, Raiji nervously swallowed, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

The last dojo tournament...

Shi Dou clearly wasn't using his full strength.

If Cain had used that move back then, even his strongest Starhawk would probably have been instantly killed...

Recalling his battle with Tokito, Raiji realized that Tokito probably hadn't even shown half of his strength back then.

……

Pallet Town, Professor Oak's laboratory.

"Wow~ Shidou's Pokémon is so amazing, I love it so much!" Professor Oak excitedly leaned in front of the TV and exclaimed.

Just then, a large, graceful bird-like Pokémon with a pink body and gorgeous tail feathers flew over happily and affectionately nuzzled Professor Oak's shoulder with its head.

It was Shidou who placed Clefairy here to raise that has now evolved into Pokel.

"Pok~" Pokel chirped.

Professor Oak affectionately patted Pokel's head and smiled slightly.

Pokel also came from Tokito...

Pokel, the evolved form of Pidgey, boasts outstanding growth in both attack and speed. Its rosy cheeks are a sign that it is in a friendly state. With its skills "Hold Back" and "Shared Fate," coupled with its adorable appearance, Pokel has been nicknamed "Pikachu" by players.

According to Shidou, Pokel's initial form, Clefairy, like Pokémon, was the 'home bird' of that place.

However, the powers that Pokel wielded were extraordinary.

Whether it's the newly learned "Hold Back" and "Share the Fate," or the power of the Flying-type moves it demonstrated, it far surpasses Pidgeot, the final evolution of Pidgey, a common local bird in the Kanto region.

Professor Oak's gaze returned to the hovering Cain on the television screen, as well as the previously dazzling Gagar, and Hilda, the ace Pokémon that had not yet appeared in the Time Battle...

Lost in thought.

Every single one of these Pokémon is ridiculously strong.

"Is this a Pokémon from outer space? It's... not at all like a Pokémon!"

Professor Oak smiled slightly, his face filled with the excitement of a researcher encountering an unsolved mystery.

……

Jade Rainbow Arena, the battleground.

Cain slowly withdrew the shadow energy emanating from his body, his azure eyes indifferently sweeping over the unconscious Gallade embedded in the wall, before silently hovering back in front of Tokito, his posture composed.

Opposite Cain, Naz stood there in a daze, filled with confusion and disbelief.

She lost.

And they lost so decisively.

Mr. Mime was instantly killed with a single punch, and Gallade was crushed in one move.

Her two mainstays, which made her famous, were actually... instantly killed by the opponent's seemingly insignificant elf?

This harsh reality shattered her long-held belief in the absolute nature of her own strength and superpowers.

Sabrina looked at the young trainer opposite her, and at Cain beside him, whose aura was strange. For the first time, she felt a kind of... chilling pressure from an unknown realm?

P.S.: Tomorrow is the final battle, and that Mantis is coming!!

Chapter 79 The strongest Fighting-type Pokémon, Incaros!!!

Despite the unbelievable instant kills of two key players, the pride of a superpowered queen in Sabrina's eyes did not fade; instead, it burned even more intensely.

She would never give up, because she still had her last, and strongest, trump card—

That partner who has been by her side since the Casey era, who is connected to her on a spiritual level, and whose strength even surpasses her own superpowers!

"Come back, Gallade, thank you for your hard work." Sabrina gently recalled Gallade, then firmly grasped the last and most special Poké Ball at her waist.

"You're the one I've chosen... Alakazam!"

The Poké Ball is tossed high into the air, and a burst of white light erupts!

A tall, slender figure, radiating wisdom, hovered in mid-air.

It holds two silver spoons, has a long white beard that hangs down to its chest, and a huge forehead that symbolizes its endless superpowers. Its brown body is covered with a brown structure that resembles armor, and its vast, ocean-like superpowers ripple slowly from its center, causing the surrounding air to distort slightly.

Alakazam, a psychic Pokémon, has brain cells that grow continuously throughout its life. This infinitely increasing number of brain cells creates a super brain with an IQ of up to 5000. Its advanced mind allows it to freely use various superpowers. It is said that the spoons Alakazam holds in its hands are objects created by its superpowers, and each spoon is unique in the world.

"It's here! It's Sabrina's ace... Alakazam!!!"

The host's shouts instantly ignited the last bit of passion in the entire venue!

The audience erupted in cheers!

"It's that Alakazam, Sabrina's ultimate trump card that she never uses lightly!"

"It is said that it has followed Miss Sabrina since it was still Casey, fighting countless battles and never suffering a defeat!"

"This is the true power of the Super Queen! The competition is not over yet!"

At the special passageway outside the arena, Naz's parents also watched the arena intently.

Sabrina's father took a deep breath and smiled slightly: "Sabrina... she's finally getting serious, she even sent out Alakazam. The Gym Leader's loss is well-deserved."

In the arena, Sabrina's gaze met Alakazam's; without a word, a powerful bond and tacit understanding were already established.

Sabrina looked at Toki and said, "Toki, you and your Pokémon are indeed very strong, beyond my expectations. However, we will not give up easily! Alakazam has been by my side since Abra's time. We have fought side by side and have never been defeated!"

Tokito lost his composure and nodded solemnly. Tokito's perception was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he could clearly feel the viscous and boundless superpowers around Alakazam!

This power... far surpasses the Dojo level, definitely reaching the Elite King level. Moreover, judging from its energy condensation and control precision, it is extremely adept at controlling and crushing long-range mental power.

Most importantly... Alakazam's specialty is ranged special attacks.

This is trouble.

Cain hasn't yet evolved into Calossus, so he doesn't have a magic shield. Shadow Shield only provides absolute immunity to physical attacks, and it's ineffective against a pure and powerful special psychic ability like Alakazam.

A real tough battle is about to begin!

"Cain, strike first, Shadow Blade."

Shi Dou launched the first attack, attempting to seize the initiative.

A flash of azure light appeared in Cain's eyes, and he swiftly swung his sword. In an instant, several sharp energy blades formed from highly compressed shadow energy shot towards the land of the Huns like arrows released from a bow!

However, Alakazam didn't even move. It just twitched the spoon in its hand slightly, and its eyes shone brightly with blue light!

"Alakazam—!"

A beam of psychic energy, far more solid and powerful than the psychic blade previously released by Gallade, struck first, like a surging blue torrent, and instantly collided with the Shadow Blade!

"boom!!!"

Two completely different but powerful energies, shadow and superpower, collided violently in mid-air, unleashing a deafening roar. The pitch-black energy blade and the blue spiritual torrent eroded and annihilated each other, and the resulting energy turbulence transformed into a raging gale, blowing sand and stones flying everywhere!

After a stalemate lasting several seconds, both energies were finally exhausted, turning into countless shimmering energy points that slowly dissipated.

No matter who wins or loses!

In their first tentative exchange, the two sides surprisingly fought to a standstill.

The audience held their breath, their hearts pounding.

They all understood that the final showdown was only just beginning!

Sabrina's ace Alakazam has demonstrated terrifying power capable of contending with the eerie Cain. If the Gym Leader wants to achieve final victory, he must cross this towering mountain called "Alakazam"!

"Alakazam, keep attacking! Shadow Ball!"

Sabrina and Alakazam are of one mind; they communicate telepathically without needing commands.

In Sabrina's opinion, as both are special attacks, Ghost-type Shadow Ball should be able to cause significant damage to this Ghost-type Cain.

On the field, Alakazam crossed the spoons in his hands, and an energy ball wrapped in purple ghost energy quickly condensed, carrying an aura of erosion, and shot towards Cain, who had just stabilized his body after the energy collision!

Faced with this purely ranged special attack, Tokito immediately changed tactics: "Cain, dive underground!"

"Jie!"

The stealth form flickered, instantly transforming into a pure shadow, silently merging into the ground like the ocean, narrowly avoiding the bombardment of the shadow ball.

The next moment, several shadowy hands suddenly emerged from the shadows beneath Alakazam's feet, reaching for its legs—

It is the bondage of shadows!

But Alakazam reacted even faster!

Almost the instant the ghost hand appeared, its figure blurred, and it activated teleportation. Accompanied by super-powered spatial fluctuations, it appeared in mid-air the next moment, easily avoiding the slowing effect.

It was this seemingly ordinary dodge that made a glint of light flash in Sabrina's eyes!

She keenly grasped the key point!

why?

Why is it that this Ghost-type Pokémon can unleash its almost invincible Shadow Shield when facing Gallade's relentless attacks, but now chooses to dive underground to dodge Alakazam's special attacks, a more laborious and tiring method?

There is only one reason...
